This transdisciplinary text addresses both national and international policies needed to promote sustainable development, which rest on three pillars: [1] delivering essential goods and services to people; [2] maintaining a good environment, and [3] creating meaningful opportunities for sufficient earning capacity for people through employment and other ways to broaden capital ownership. Conventional theories of economic growth, consumption, employment, and inequality are challenged and a more modern conceptualization of the workings of the industrial state, both developed and developing, is presented.</span><br class=""><br class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">The transformation of the industrial state will be enabled by environmental, economic, and trade law, new economics, and a more realistic political theory focused on achieving an equitable and secure society in a resource and energy-constrained future. The book was written specifically to enable a more integrated and transdisciplinary approach in teaching sustainable development. </span><br class=""><br class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Nicholas A.
